Folks take the time to watch this and see exactly how clubs at the top in this country are run and are constantly looking for improvement. It shows you just how out of touch the Flyers actually are on pretty much every single front.

We are out of touch 4 days now and not a single thing from the club they should be telling us something but naw we will let them all hang on until the bitter end before we tell them, don't get why anyone would part with hundreds or even a grand for aeason tickets we we act like this

It certainly gives you a clear indication of where Flyers could be if they just started to be a full professional club. Now yes they might not be able to do everything Sheffield do as the budget may not allow but we can so easily be far better than we are.
Give Todd his due he seems to have finally realised that recruiting in the late summer months is no longer the way to do business.
First move would be to move the guys away from Bogarts or at least kill this drinking culture that still remains in the club. Sheffield talk about their guys being with Danny Mawer at 7am, thats happening now and has been all summer. They are also sending off season programmes to all players something they have been doing for the last few summers.
We could just start with stopping the boozing and we would see an improvement. Guys like Kyle Haines even got sucked into the way of being a flyer. Todd really has to stop that from happening. The game at Manchester (in Feb I think it was) was a perfect example guys still hammered from the night before and it showed in all its glory.
Hopefully we do see a real change in how this club operates this season, mind you the recent radio silence doesnt suggest anything has changed so far.

Just watched the interview, amazing when tommo goes on about how things were done 30 to 15 years ago and your mentally ticking off the boxes with "the fife way". Oh to have someone with that insight at fife.

Oh to have someone with that insight at fife. You know what makes it worse is that there are some in Fife who have tried and gave up and there are some in KIHC right now who know what is needed but can't break through the old guard. Look at the Kestrels latest signing Liam Danskin, coming back from a year in Canada a local lad who should be on the Flyers radar or maybe even a two way to try and progress the lad even further. Why not sign Reece Cochrane Liam Danskin and Scott Jamieson to 3 year apprenticeship deals (yes to copy the Steelers) 3 16 year old kids who all have real talent and a chance to do something. There are others but I just pick there names out as examples of the talent in the club. |

Yes we don't have the same set up as the steelers but is that not the point, should we not be aiming to change and try something different. I know it will never happen with the scrappy in charge but doesn't stop me hoping for change in the nightmare way this club is run. I mean its not as if there is a body all set up to help them set up apprenticeships in sport or anything..... sportsacademyofscotland.org |

Tams attitude is we would just be training them up for other clubs to get the benefit after all how many other than Gordon Latto or Steven King actually stayed with the club.

If you speak to any ex brit flyer over the last 20 years, I bet not one will have a good word to say about the organisation. Everyone one of them, other than King and Latto left at some point or even quit because the way they were treated. It will continue to hapoen

Tongue in cheek, could we not rename Kestrels as the Flyers and take their management as well, and the get rid of the amateur management of the Flyers.
At least Kestrels have some players it appears

Trouble is...why train up and invest in a lot of our juniors when in reality, this is an import driven league, there is no room on the team for a lot of locals...would there be any more than 2 or 3 getting regular ice time.
